The application for the patent was published on June 19, 2026, under issue no. 25/2026.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a leveling system for robotic surgical carts 200, featuring a docking assembly 408 that integrates a force sensing element 418, a biasing element 422, and a surface contact element 412 arranged to transmit force for leveling on uneven surfaces. The assembly includes a biasing element cap 420, guide pins 412a, 412b, and a locking plate 414 to ensure precise vertical motion facilitated by an actuation mechanism 402 comprising a motor 404 and actuation shaft 406 with integrated dual Hall feedback sensors. Multiple independently controllable docking assemblies 304a–304d are synchronized to detect initial ground contact and uniformly raise the cart, enhancing stability and surgical accessibility.
